Caption: The LAB is an "anti-mall" that is recycled from a night vision goggle factory, almost 20 years ago. It's located In the midst of Orange County’s suburbia. The LAB is a homey, indoor-outdoor hang out with shops and restaurants geared for the young at heart. The “LAB” stands for “Little American Business” and that’s what they are, and continue to support.
